Archaeological finds since the nineteenth century have provided us with an insight into the cultures and religious beliefs of the nations around ancient Israel. By studying these, we learn of ancient myths about the creation of the world, the great flood of Utnapishtim and many other beliefs similar to the biblical stories. From these ancient beliefs, biblical scholars believe they can learn the origins and evolution of the earliest biblical stories.
